Christmas is this Friday, so most of the gift-buying has already been wrapped up, at least by the more prudent folks. Without fail there are always enough last-minute shoppers who have put off checking their entire Christmas list until it's nearly too late. While the hottest items have probably already been stripped from the shelves, you can always count on the Christmas season glut of new DVD releases to fill those empty stockings. Here are a few TV shows that have been given the box set treatment just in time for the holidays.

Better Off Ted, Season 1

Victor Fresno's excellent, if staggered, corporate comedy Better Off Ted seemed doomed to an undeserved, early cancellation when it first hit ABC late in 2008. The network cut the already short first season in half, airing the remaining episodes in an irregular schedule over the summer and generally treating the show like an unwanted stray. But round critical acclaim and vocal fan support kept BOT alive and it's been enjoying a strong second season for the past few weeks. If you know someone who loved the show when it was struggling last year or better yet somebody who would love Better Off Ted if only they knew about it, why not get them the complete first season on DVD?

Lost, Season 5

Fans of ABC's flagship mind-bender of a series Lost are rarely casual viewers. As the fan sites, forums and message boards demonstrate, Lost's audience loves to pick apart all of the heavy dialogue and spot all of the clues, both real imagined, dotting each episode. On December 8th the complete fifth season of the show came out on DVD, so those of you don't have DVR can finally benefit from those essential TV detective tools, the pause and rewind buttons. Avid fans would probably enjoy the special Dharma Initiation Kit version of the Season 5 box set. It's loaded with extra goodies and limited edition material that's sure to thrill any Lost completists on your list.

The Head and The Maxx, Complete Series

Back in 1994 MTV decided to significantly expand its original animated programming schedule after the unqualified success of Beavis and Butt-Head. The network picked up weird shows like The Brothers Grunt and the beautiful, surreal Aeon Flux. It also put together a short-lived variety program called Oddities that featured some of the more interesting independent cartoons of the era. The first among these offerings was The Head, a darkly comical sci-fi series about a Gen-X schlub whose cranium becomes home to a little purple alien named Roy. Now the entire two-year run of The Head is available on DVD, along with the its Oddities partner The Maxx, the new cult classic about bizarre heroes and villains in a comic book style world.

Family Guy- Something Something Something Dark Side

A couple years ago everybody's favorite pop culture reference cartoon did a pretty awesome retelling of the original Star Wars called "Blue Harvest". The much-anticipated sequel hits stores tomorrow, December 22nd. "Something Something Something Dark Side" gives the Family Guy treatment to The Empire Strikes Back. Expect this one to fly off the shelves in record time.
